wow beautiful, just finished watching the video, now we need a solderless kit video from jkk. LOL

Thanks for your hard work

btw i realize that under the keyboard, you said that there was a warranty seal, can you get the screw out without removing that seal?also, we can stick the double sided tape to hold the controller anywhere on the board? there isn't a place that the tape would kill the circuit board right?

OMG, you are the man! I will definitely order one after my trip. I assume those data wires won't interfere with a zif HDD. Nice touch there with tape while soldering. Question, I know there are drivers for linux, but does it work for all versions, say xubuntu?Thanks again JKK.

JKK,did you connect the touch controller in a internal USB-hub? or in some USB port which is now unavailable? I got where it was connected but I did not understand from where comes that USB connection.Anyway.... THANKS for the good job.

Jkk,when you have some time please give us some additional info on soldering this touch panel on an eee 900. Do you think that the best way is soldering the wires the way fidodido shows in the photos of his touch screen on ebay?Or maybe there is a more convenient way/place to solder the wires?Thank you

This was what i needed, if i can fit a HDD, touchpanel and a Huawei E170 (http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/products/view.do?id=940&pageId=null) that seems pretty small, inside the 901 it would be a really nice netbook ;)

i just checked your 900 post and i'm ok with the data cables and the ground cable but i can't figure out where the power wire(red cable in your photos) comes from.If you can confirm to me what i see on this photo is ok,i think i'll be fine:http://usih.merchantrun.com/ImageHosting/ViewImage.aspx?GlobalID=1003&MerchantID=671&ImageID=7&DisplaySize=400Thanx a lot,Greg

I realy would like to see an ACER ONE with touch. Do you know if someone already did it? I still did not buy any of those but i'm bending to the acer one. Comparing the screen from both Asus and Acer, the acer is much brighter then Asus which can make the touch better. Don't you think?

.... one more question about 901 ... If a I understod right the usb conection for ZIF isn't used??? is it possible to use both SSD (4+12) and touch together?....

Alois, using the USB connection of the mPCIe connector (like JKK did) still keeps your SSD functional. The ZIF is a different, smaller connector new in the 901; don't solder anything to that.

JKK, did the fido's panel affect the optical quality of the screen much? It looks like you didn't remove the original antiglare filter (now nonfunctional under a new plate) or anything else for that matter. Is the panel really so thin you don't need to remove anything, like the metal frame? Lastly, was the panel plastic or glass?

Jkk, how durable are these things? do i have to worry about it breaking? i am not worried about myself.. but i let alot of people play with my eee.. and they will love the touch screen.. what do ya think?

can anyone help, I've soldered the controller into place, booted xp to test but noting is happening. xp doesn't come up saying it's found new hardware and I've even tried installing from the add hardware section in control panel.

I have just put the kit into my 900 20G and now when I turn it on I get past the first boot screen and then after the next screen displaying "starting system" it draws the screen black with the cursor in the top left hand corner. I am unable to get it to do anything else past this point. Does anyone have any ideas where I may have gone wrong? my conections are http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZKlSQm2j7TI/SH9lDvN4PHI/AAAAAAAAC7s/_9UR4s2C61E/s1600-h/2ee2.jpg

have anybody use this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/8-9-inch-Touch-Screen-Panel-kit-Asus-EEEPC-900-901_W0QQitemZ280250488249QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280250488249&_trkparms=72%3A552|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318

Jkk,have you experienced any accuracy loss of fido's touch screen?i have installed mine on my eee 900 but i have to calibrate it often.do you think it might bad soldering could cause this strange behavior of the touch screen??

with edge compensation off it seems to work better but it still loses accuracy sometimes.I'm afraid i didn't solder it properly.i used Fido's wires for +5v ground and D+ D-. can i use the wires from a standard usb cable instead?

JKK,That is incredible! Now, can you add on screen virtual keyboard to it? In this way, you do not have to use the hard keyboard all the time for viewing web pages.By the way, I also watched your Youtube review on Nokia N810. That is wonderful too. Do you think it is possible to replace the small 4.1 inch touch screen with a large one, say, 7 inch one. Of course, you will need a large housing for it. 4.1 inch screen is really not that great for a full scale web page. I have a Nokia N770. I am thinking to use it as the core of a larger home-make internet tablet.

Jkk, what drivers have you used fot the usb controller?watching carefully at your video,the settings window before you do the calibration doesn't look the same as mine.could you give me a link for the drivers?Thank you

I've bought the same kit from fido-dido (haven't installed yet, but I've read a couple of posts here and there, that the panel is loosing it's precision over time. Is this due to interference with the panels cables?

Is it possible to isolate the cables with say the stuff that's around tv/radio cables? Would that short anything?

anyone who's used these... are these touchscreens good enough for inking? such as in Microsoft onenote?? it it works with onenote i'd replace my laptop i use for school with this DIY tablet.. if i add the 8800mah battery that would be the perfect machine for school..

I'm shure this might sound silly, but is it possible to put tuchscreen on the eeepc screen without opening it? I meen fix it on the front and powering it throw a USB connector ? I know it will be ugly, but it would be quite more simple & riskless & an easy way to test the tuchscreen before realy go for installing it.

I am looking for any other possible USB points for connection of the touch screen as I seem to have damaged the D- connection on those very small connection points... where else can I get a usb connection..

I have a touchscreen (for 900) and Hub for (700) (separated) from Fido. I wunder if I can connect these together and plug it in the camera port on the mainboard of my 901.Or any other port, so I don't have to solder.

I don't know if they are working with a 900A (is there enough space?).

I don'd know if the panels are "mirroring".

And I don't know which panel I should choose and where I should buy it (which controllers and panels are good?)ishop-express: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280257740436&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018fido-dido999: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120293406868&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002

I am re-posting this because no one seems to respond to my questions...

please someone take a minute to help me out..

I need ANOTHER d+ d- connection for the touch screen install points.. the one shown in the tutorial is not longer available on my mother board because I scorched it... any information on where else I can take a USB connection would be greatly appreciated..

JKK thanks for your response... are those points in the picture the actual D+ D- connection points or do I need to solder them TOGETHER first.. I am sort of newbie at this so any details would be appreciated..

I started to solder the screen into my EEE901. I've two questions:1. Do you think that this SMD-Part still works? : http://img2.abload.de/img/20080908_eeepc_5voltvuy.jpg

2. I can't see good enough how are Data+ and Data- soldered on your second image. And where to solder GND? Kan you paint here Data+, Data- and GND? : http://img2.abload.de/img/20080908_eeepc_data_wf8.jpgI think between the pins at Data+ and Data - are two chip resistors. Correct?You may use these pictures if you want.

Hi! since i bought my eee pc 901 i follow your web almost every day!Now I have a problem with the touch screen. i bought one from fido-dido via ebay...i welds all wires correctly then i put the screen..it works not very well...i thought where the solders..but when i solder again some wires it stop working...and now de software for touchscreen dont detect de panel...can you help me? my email thekymera@gmail.com thank you!!

I just installed fun and easy touch kit on eeepc 900a no solder eeti 4port hub/controller will not fit on top of mainboard. I put it over in the front under mainboard under atom sticker area...the mainboard camera port to controller connector wire is too short, so soldered connector onto camera connector(no camera in this model anyways) I calibrated it but it wont work right...the cursor is crazy! is it because of compiz? Software installed, found usb device, kensington bluetooth mini dongle is plugged into hub and is working(mounted it next to ethernet port with case mod )checked connections. is it possible to plug in screen ribbon upside down?feralcoyote

TY JKK...HALLO to everybody! I'd like to know if it is possible to fix a touch screen on a eeepc 901 GO. I wonder if there is enoght room inside the eeepc to put the controller of the touch sreen, because this version has the 3G modm already inside. I saw in the video, that Mr Jkk put that controller esactly in the room in with my eeepc9000 go has the 3g modem. May i fix it somwhere else??? TY to anyone will answer...

Just installed the solderless touchkit. It works fine as long as I don't mount the cover of the screen. I guess the touch panel is too thick and the pressure from the cover is too high then. Has anybody an idea how to solve this? Thx Andreas

hi JJK i am trying to install a TS and a M$ streets and trips GPS on my EeePc 1000. I would like to know first is it possible and second will i still be able to have normal functions? Like if i tap into the +5v power you mentioned on the 901 model will i burn it out with them two devices attached to it??

I have a 901 eee pc. I finally got the touch screen working, actually it was working when I first put it in, I just didn't know that it doesn't sense skin, fingertips, man I'm pressing and pressing, and I found out stylus works perfect, finger nails work perfect. I installed the Hoda kit on ebay ---mydigitaldiscount.com,------ could have been packaged in more than a fedex envelope, but it's working great. Lots of headaches and probably 6 hours of working slow to avoid breaking things. I've pulled apart lots of ipods, this is much much harder, but the reward is great! So I recommend mydigitaldiscount for a 901 touchscreen, it is fine.

I'm the guy above, hoda 901 kit. I installed the screen with nothing between glass and lcd screen, I can't understand putting cushy double sided tape between them just in two places, and I don't have room, it bulges like everyone says, but I don't take my netbook anywhere, so it should be fine. Also I can feel it bend when I touch in the center, is this right???? Touch screen does not rest on lcd screen in middle, feels kinda neat pushing on it and it hitting the lcd screen, but probably I should do something about it? I also left out the 4 frame screws for the lcd screen, which I think is what hoda instructions say to do? To give is more room I guess. I left in original cam cable, wish I'd taken it out for more wiring room, it is a tight fit upper right of keyboard. I'm just glad it works, and it is a little slow with response, not bad, like .2 seconds. I don't know why you're supposed to unhook wifi cables, anyone know???? Do they carry current from the air :o, I dunno! I didn't have to take out ssd or take off bottom ram cover. It is cool, very cool. Screen looks a little darker, but is super fine overall and the buzz from getting it done feels so good. It is good. mydigitaldiscount ebay is where I got it like I said above. Like $87 total and fast 3 day shipping.

Hi jkk, thank you for your effort in making this video, it was very interesting. I have a question that I think alot of people are asking at the moment, where to get these panels from a good dealer with the right chip that doesnt overheat. Also I have seen many Panel-Sets that are connected to the webcam and this way disableing the webcam which is terrible. Your installation and panel-set seem to be the best I have seen, but I cant find any dealers. Where did you buy it?

What would be the closest model to follow the ho-to for a 904 HA? since you dont have one specifically for one, and im half assuming this one would be the closest, since its the similar model but wider, but i dont want to take chances.
